Delta Pi was awarded the cup pre- j sented this year for the first time by Pan-Hellenic organization of women's fraternities for the highest average of scholarship during the past year.
The winning score was based on the j average of the highest scholarship for j the two semesters, that of Delta Pi J being 8" 5 as against 85.4 the next j highest score.
The race for the cup was close be-tween Delta Pi and Iota Sigma 1 heta, the two local sororities of the cam- j pus. For the first semester of last . year. Iota Sigma Theta was in the; lead of all sororities with a standing of 88.4, but during the last semester j of the past year dropped to 82.4, making their average two points below that of Delta Pi who scored 85.3 for the first half and S9.8 during the last.
The awarding of the cup this year is an innovation and will be continued on from year to year, the cup going to the sorority holding the highest records. The award is to be suitably engraved, T>ut on no account will the cup become the permanent property of any organization, as is often the ca<e in such matters when holding for three successive years entitles the winners to the prize.

After a crew of over anxious Trojans ’had rushed t*he main gate and after three or four false alarms were sounded that the train was in sight, it came at last! The fellows looked tired, but they carried with them the quiet satisfaction that the job which they were to do was w’ell done.
Someone remarked when it was all over, that over-confidence seemed lacking. That the team knew they had done well, but that they fully realized what kind of a road lay before them.

At ten on Tuesday morning about forty men—the varsity football team— managed to push and pull their way 1 through the crowd around the train | to the balcony above the main waiting-room of the Southern Pacific station.
